MONTREAL — Four months into the job, NDP Leader Avi Lewis is still in no rush. Since winning the leadership of a party knocked to its knees in the 2025 federal election, Lewis has maintained his immediate priority is preparing the NDP for an election — not winning a seat in the House of Commons.

This is the app that hundreds of millions of people around the planet rely on each day to make sure they get up for work on time, know what hour it is in a different country, or take a meal out of the oven before it burns. Despite being such a crucial app, though, Clock—like Apple’s Messages app—is a frustrating experience. Compared to many third-party and Android clock apps, Apple’s Clock lacks extremely basic features that,…
